Data Sources

Each exploration can have only one data source.
Each report (and each section within a report) can have multiple data sources.
Data that is used for explorations and reports must be loaded into memory on the SAS LASR Analytic Server. In addition to loading SAS data sets, an administrator can load other data that is accessible to a SAS/ACCESS engine and import local Excel or delimited (CSV) files.
Tip
An administrator can perform ETL and aggregation functions before loading data. For more information, see the data preparation chapters in the SAS Visual Analytics: User's Guide.
